Hi everyone.
I have noticed a couple of things:
1- The two subverses, /v/football and /v/soccer are more or less inactive and don't seem to have any proper framework.
Unless we organize ourselves to choose one subverse to be the main focal point and contribute and give it some structure I don't think we will get anywhere.
2- Recently I have seen subverses for chelsea, barcelona, juve and man united (reddevils).
This shows that there is the football fans around they are just each in their own corners at the moment.
I am starting this thread with the hopes that we can get together to decide on what to do. I understand some of you might want to focus on your own specific teams, but with such few members at the moment I think if we could create a nice general sub and get it going it would add much more value in the long run.

I agree . It would be in our best interests to give up one sub and make one our main home so we can just build on that instead of being like warring factions. My vote lies with /v/football because I feel that we could all use a new slate instead of inheriting /r /soccer's reputation. It does seem as though the mods of both football subverses are not active seeing as none of them have responded. The mod of /v/reddevils hasn't answered either which leads me to believe that they gave up hope.

I agree with making /v/football the main subverse, but will see what everyone decides. I know everyone probably lives in different time zones so I don't expect much to happen quickly ( next few hours). Asides from that it should give enough time for discussion and appropriate time for the mods to respond. I would like to if we can just start throwing out suggestions as to what we would like to see, not see, concepts such as information on the sidebar. Can I ask that you make each suggestion a different comment and that way people can upvoat if they agree, and I ask that no one downvoats, instead just ignore something they don't want. Although just imaginary karma points I don't think it is fair or people to be "punished" for suggesting and contributing to the discussion.

Yes, We'll wait for the rest to vote on which subverse to use. Baardmeester is now active and he is in the Netherlands so I'd be up at the same time he is except for when I'm at work. Idk about the rest though so we'll have introductions later on.
Shall we go ahead and make a suggestion thread here or should we wait on the consensus vote for which subverse to use?

/v/football choice would be more obvious since that is how the game is really called. Futher more I'm active now. Also see the post in the other meta thread.

Good to see you here. I hope we are not stepping on your toes here but would you like to keep this discussion going or do you have your own plans for how you want to go forward?

Oh thank God you're here. I was wondering what had happened seeing as you've only just requested the subverse the other day. Are you Dutch?
